Mary Owen, MFT California

As a psychotherapist, a teacher and a clinical supervisor, I have loved working creatively with individuals, groups, couples, children and whole families for 35+ years. Working with Russell Delman as an embodied life student, inspires and opens me to listen deeply and far more gently and kindly to my body, mind and spirit than I ever experienced before. I bring this presence to my work with others.

I use many modalities including: careful, attuned listening; teaching and guiding meditation; practicing communication skills and body-oriented therapies: Whole Body Focusing, Gestalt, Family Sculpture, Sensorimotor, LOMI, Hakomi and movement awareness. Together with clients’ active participation, we discover what works best on their path to healing old wounds and current stressors. We cultivate awareness of the moment and tend to the quality of our relationship as we work.

Athena Kyle, P.T.
San Francisco, Ca

I have been a physical therapist for 30 years, a cranio-sacral therapist for over 20 years, a Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner since 1993, and a graduate of the inaugural Embodied Life™ Mentorship Program. Over the years, I have evolved and integrated everything I learned in a very unique way which maximizes the results my clients experience. My one-on-one manual therapy approach is customized for each person’s individual needs.

I founded Advanced Physical Therapy in San Francisco in 1986. This private practice is dedicated to promoting services with a commitment to excellence in the compressive treatment of the whole person. The goal is to address and achieve improvement of the client’s symptomatic areas while integrating the persons mind, body, and spirit, and connecting them to the world around them.

My clients take an active role in learning and participating in achieving their goals. This work is done with compassion, creativity, and dedication. Russell’s teachings have deepened my work in a profound and tangible way. Please feel free to contact me for more information.

MarySusan Chen PT
Forest, Or

As a Physical Therapist who has always felt a strong spiritual connection and longing, the Embodied Life™ work has given me practices to integrate mind, body and spirit in a true unfolding of life. It would be my pleasure to share what I have learned and guide you along your journey.

Embodied Life sessions can guide you in finding your ‘balance’ through presence, meditation, movement, breathing, and guided Focusing sessions. These can be done in groups, individually or over the phone.

As a Feldenkrais® teacher, I offer Awareness Through Movement® classes through the Park District of Oak Park and Functional Integration® in my River Forest office. I use these skills, plus biofeedback, in providing Physical Therapy for patients with chronic pain at Marianjoy’s Oakbrook Terrace office.

Carol Delmonico
Bend, Or

As a Professional Life Coach I help busy people who thrive on serving others but are missing a deep connection with themselves. If you have a sense of “something missing in you” this body of work may be of great value. Having graduated from the Embodied Life™ Mentorship Program I now offer clients guided relaxation, a guided inquiry process and the many moment to moment ways to reconnect to presence. These practices will help you to be more present, awake and joyful in your life. I offer Embodied Life Classes and workshops which include sitting meditation, movement and guided inquiry. Please feel free to contact me or visit my website or blog for more information.

Donna Nisha Cohen, MS, CYT

I am a certified yoga teacher and a graduate of the Embodied Life™ Mentorship Program. The style of yoga that I teach is influenced by the movement work of Russell Delman. There is an emphasis on slow, simple postures grounded in breath and awareness. I am very interested in having people discover how to “experience the physical aliveness in their bodies exactly as it is”. I offer yoga and meditation classes and private sessions. I also offer Guided Self-Inquiry sessions with individuals which emphasizes learning to deeply listen to yourself by being deeply listened to. I am currently beginning ongoing Embodied Life™ Classes and Workshops which include movement, sitting practice, and self-inquiry influenced by focusing.
